FROM THE PUBLISHER - Christopher Gilbert, often known as Chris Gilbert, won the 1983 Walt Whitman Award for his poetry collection ACROSS THE MUTUAL LANDSCAPE. He was recognized as a major force among the black American poets of the 1970s and 1980s who chanted and sang their poetry for enthusiastic audiences. Christopher Gilbert was born on August 1, 1949, in Birmingham, Alabama, the son of Floyd and Rosie (Walker) Gilbert. He grew up in Lansing, Michigan, and several of his poems describe his experiences growing up in that town, which was dominated by the automobile industry. Gilbert left Lansing, earning his bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan in 1972, then his master's degree and doctorate in psychology from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1975 and 1986 respectively. During the years in which he earned his education, Gilbert worked as a psychologist and psychotherapist, he did research, and he taught psychology. He worked as a staff psychologist and consultant at the Judge Baker Guidance Center in Boston and as a psychologist at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He also served as staff psychologist at the Cambridge Family and Children's Services. At night, on weekends, and sometimes in the early morning, Gilbert wrote poetry. He was quoted in Contemporary Authors Online as saying: ‘Sometimes I wrote between breaths.’ Before long, Gilbert became a well-known figure in Boston and Cambridge poetry circles. He participated in Etheridge Knight's Free People's Poetry Workshops and wrote for the Little Apple, a Worcester journal of arts and literature. Many of his poems first appeared in the Worcester Review, published by the Worcester County Poetry Association. Gilbert's poetry collection, ACROSS THE MUTUAL LANDSCAPE, was awarded the 1983 Walt Whitman Prize from the Academy of American Poets. Awarded annually to poets who had not published a standard-edition poetry collection, the prize included both cash and publication by an Academy-selected press. The poems in ACROSS THE MUTUAL LANDSCAPE, or earlier versions, had been published previously in various periodicals including the American Literary Review, Black American Literature Forum, Dark Horse, Mother Jones, Nimrod, Obsidian, The Runner, Small Moon, Sunbury, Telephone, Umbral, and the Virginia Quarterly Review. Graywolf Press in Port Townsend, Washington, with help from a Washington State Arts Commission grant, published ACROSS THE MUTUAL LANDSCAPE to good reviews. The poet Denise Levertov wrote for the book jacket: ‘Chris Gilbert's poems are dense with intellectual content and infused with lyrical imagination; his critique of society, his exploration of its interaction with his own soul or spirit, his elegiac celebrations of Robert Hayden or Muriel Rukeyser or invocations of jazz and its artists, don't form separate categories but flow in and out of one another.’. inventory #24523 ISBN: 0915308487.<
